The injury list before our match against Australia:

1. Munaf Patel
2. Ajit Agarkar
3. Yuvraj Singh

I am not much bothered about Ajit Agarkar, good riddens in fact! But I want both Munaf and Yuvraj to get back into the squad. Neither Kaif nor D. Mongia is a good enough replacement for this talented young chap.

Sreesanth is replacing Agarkar. That's a great move. But do we really have place for this Kerala fast bowler? Depends on the pitch. Based on my 11, we will have to go with Powar if the pitch assists spinners or with Sreesanth otherwise. In any case, I feel Sreesanth is a good prospect for India. A potential spearhead of our pace attack. With Pathan repeatedly biting the dust, he would be the ideal partner to Munaf with the new ball.
-------------------------------------

Pakistan, as expected, did play to their lowest potential. Makhaya Ntini bowled amazingly well at the beginning though at the end he was predictable with his deliveries pitching outside the off stump and coming into the batsman at chest height. Umar Gul showed Ntini what was wrong.

I didn't understand a word of what Younis Khan spoke at the post-match awards function. Why couldn't they speak in urdu/ hindi? I mean it was Rameez Raja who was compering, it would have been nice to know what Younis thought of his batsmen. Beats me! English needn't be the de facto standard.
------------------------------------

Today's match: Eng-WI.

I would love it if England thrashed WI. Considering the present form, it looks highly likely that the vice-versa will happen.

Already WI is 75/1 (16th over). A good total of around 250+ will give them the much-needed batting practice ahead of their semi-final with New Zealand at Mohali.
------------------------------------

The Indian squad to South Africa will be announced at Mohali after the Ind-Aus match on October 30th (Cricinfo is carrying an error in their headline). Good chance for the youngsters to prove themselves and come up trumps. An additional carrot to perform well apart from the fact that they will sail into the semis if they can beat Australia. My pick would be this:

1. Rahul Dravid
2. Sachin Tendulkar
3. Anil Kumble (Please pick him. He needs some match practice before the WC '07)
4. Virendra Sehwag
5. Yuvraj Singh
6. Suresh Raina
7. Dinesh Mongia
8. Mohammed Kaif
9. Mahendra Singh Dhoni
10. Dinesh Karthick (He has proved himself in the domestic matches)
11. Harbhajan Singh
12. Irfan Pathan
13. Munaf Patel
14. Sreesanth
15. V.R.V. Singh
16. Zaheer Khan
